A place for free thinkers - for Humanists in North East Hampshire and West Surrey around Farnham, Alton, Aldershot and Farnborough.
We're an active and friendly group and have monthly pub meetings and talks which are open to everyone. You don't have to join or become a member. We support the local community and have social events. Come and try us out!

Humanism is a positive world view centred on people.
We are atheists and agnostics who share a non-religious ethical outlook based on empathy, reason and evidence. We seek to create a more open, just and caring society.

- Disestablish and be damned: why it’s time to separate Church and State.The Hop Blossom, Farnham
Sunday February 16th 7.15 for 7.30pm
Hop Blossom Pub, Long Garden Walk, Farnham, GU9 7HXA talk by Stephen Evans, chief executive, National Secular Society.
The latest census revealed that England is no longer a majority-Christian country.
Meanwhile, our head of state retains the title of Defender of the Faith; laws requiring Christian worship in schools remain in place; and Church of England bishops retain seats as of right in the legislature.
In this talk Stephen will explore the relationship between religion and state and argue that the time has come to disestablish the Church of England.
NB The talk will follow a brief Farnham Humanists AGM.
Do come along and join in the discussion. Everyone is welcome!!
